Goetten, Schmidt square off in judges candidate forum By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press For the first time in 30 years, the voters of Greene County will be electing a new Greene County Circuit Judge to be sitting on the bench for possibly another three decades. Greene County Circuit Judge James Day announced his retirement last year after 30 years on the bench. While the seat of judge is an elected position, the seat does not come up for re-election. Rather, every six years, the seat comes up for retention, which means voters get the opportunity to either keep the sitting judge or reject him. The Greene County Bar Association (GCBA) held a candidate forum Monday night, Oct. 11 in the courtroom of the Greene County Courthouse with half a dozen members of the GCBA and one member of the local media present along with judicial

candidates Matt Goetten and Zachary Schmidt. The event was moderated by Morgan County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Gray Noll who asked each candidate eight questions, which were picked by members of the (GCBA). Each candidate was allowed a 3-minute opening statement and then given 3 minutes to answer each question with the order each question was asked alternating between each candidate. The candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opening statements centered around their backgrounds, which were radically different. Schmidt, 33, grew up on the family farm in rural Carrollton and is currently serving as a lobbyist for the Farm Bureau in Peoria. Also, in his six years of experience as an attorney, he has served as an assistant stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney in Logan County and Peoria County. (See, CANDIDATE, A2)

Zachary Schmidt and Matt Goetten met in the courtroom of the Greene County Courthouse Monday night for a Judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Candidate Forum moderated by Morgan County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Gray Noll. Each candidate had three minutes to answer eight questions chosen by a panel of Greene County Bar Association members. Both men are vying for the office of the next Greene County Circuit Judge on Nov. 3.

Voter drop box is up and in service at courthouse By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press

reene County voters who do not feel comfortable voting in person, either through early voting at the courthouse or at the polls on election day, yet also do not trust the postal service with the ballot through voting by mail, now have a third option â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the drive-by ballot box. Greene County Clerk Debbie Banghart announced recently that the official drive-by ballot dropbox is available for voters who wish to vote by mail and choose not to use the United States Postal Service. The ballot drop box is located on the west side of the Greene County Courthouse in the parking lot in Carrollton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no need for voters to put a postage stamp on their ballot before placing it in the ballot drop box,â&#x20AC;? Banghart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The box will be emptied frequently, and it will take two keys to open it, one which will be held by a Democrat representative and one which will be held by a Republican representative, and both must be present when it is opened. The ballots will then be stamped as received.â&#x20AC;? (See, DROP BOX, A2)

J and K Furniture closing in White Hall

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press After 13 years in the furniture business in White Hall, Jeff and Kim Fansler, owners of J and K Furniture, announced on social media that they would be closing their doors on Oct. 18 for good.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;With everything that was going on, we just decided that maybe this was a sign... that it was time to close the doors.â&#x20AC;?

Greene County Clerk Debbie Banghart stands next to the voter drop box on the west side of the courthouse in Carrollton where voters can drop their mail in ballots rather than using the U.S. Postal Service to mail in their ballots. The box requires two keys to open, which are held by one Republican and one Democrat representative, both of which must be present to open the box. The ballots are then stamped as received.

The response they got was unbelievable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; much more than what they expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we made the announcement on social media that weekend, we had people waiting at the door when we came to open up,â&#x20AC;? Kim Fansler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That weekend, our showroom floor was almost emptied out. I was shocked at how quickly everything went.â&#x20AC;? The showroom floor sits mostly bare now, save for a few couches and chairs and a few odds and ends, some of which have sold signs on them and are just waiting to be picked up. The decision behind closing their doors was two-fold. The main reason came before COVID-19 hit. (See, FURNITURE, A2)

Greene County positivity rate on the rise, but not up to warning level By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Greene County is again off of the list of counties at a warning level regarding the positivity rate of COVID-19 cases in the county, but the rate is rising. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Friday reported 26 counties in Illinois are considered to be at a warning level for novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). A county enters a warning level when two or more COVID-19 risk indicators that measure the amount of COVID19 increase. Twenty-six counties are currently reported at a warning level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Case, Christian, Clay, Clinton, Coles, Crawford, Effingham, Fayette, Henderson, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Knox, Lake, Lee, Mason, Massac, Pulaski, Richland, Saline, Shelby, Union, Vermilion, Whiteside, Winnebago and Warren. The county moved out of the warning level during the week of Sept. 9-13 through 9-19 with a positive rate that had dropped to 5.8 percent. A county moves into a warning level when the positivity rate rises above 8 percent. At one point, Greene County was over 10 percent. Currently, the positive rate has

risen to 6.9 percent. During the week of Oct. 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 13, there were 16 confirmed cases, five of which were in long-term care. The rest were community acquired. There was one more death during this time period, bringing the total deaths in the county up to 17. Of these, 15 have been deaths in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only long-term care facility â&#x20AC;&#x201C; White Hall Nursing and Rehab. The 119-bed facility has had 100 patients contract the virus. Large events continue to be a concern of the health department for the spread of the virus. Oktoberfest in White Hall this past weekend saw a large gathering of people in Lions Park. While the event did take place outdoors, people were gathered under pavilions playing bingo not all adhering to the social distancing protocol or wearing masks, though it is not known if those people were members of the same family. It was the same case at the pavilion where the children were painting pumpkins. But again, it is not known if they were from the same family. Otherwise, there didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be a flagrant problem with people keeping a fair distance apart while visiting the various vendors or other events at the park. However, the wearing of masks was almost non-existent.

Neece Grand Marshall of Lions Club Parade

World War II Veteran John Neece, alongside his son, Eric Neece, waves to the adoring crowd Saturday morning in White Hall during the Lions Club Parade kicking off what should have been the Fourth of July Parade. COVID-19 canceled the normal Fourth of July celebration, so the Lions Club partnered with the White Hall Lions Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oktoberfest to create a fun event for everyone. While the parade wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as big as usual, most of the crowd just enjoyed getting out to see everyone, especially Neece, who is one of the few remaining World War II veterans still among us today. He was recently honored for being a 75-year member of the American Legion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the longest of any member. More photos from Oktoberfest can be found on A5.

OPINION

Carrollton, Illinois

Supreme Court expands parental rights to non-married partners By BILL HOAGLAND Here is a factual situation that is becoming more common every day: Mark and Carol get married, have one child, and then get divorced. Under the terms of the divorce decree, they have joint custody of the child. Carol gets married again. Mark does not get married again but has a live-in girlfriend, Karen, who moves in and lives with him for the next three years. Karen has three children from a prior marriage and these children live with Mark and Karen. Once Mark and Karen start living together, the one child from Mark’s marriage with Carol spends a lot of time at Mark’s house, and eventually, Mark’s house becomes her primary residence. In the

process of living day to day with Karen and her children, this child emotionally bonds with them and they become a part of her “family.” Mark then dies unexpectedly while he and Karen are still living together. At that point, Carol demands that her daughter be returned and that she have full and sole custody of her. Karen, however, wants to have visitation rights with this child as well as some sayso as to how she is raised, but Carol won’t even agree to any visitation. Carol, in essence, is saying that “if you didn’t bother to get married to each other, you shouldn’t have any parental rights over my child”. This is an actual case except that I have changed the names of the parties.

To a certain extent, you can understand the reasoning behind Carol’s argument; if you aren’t willing to get married, you shouldn’t expect to have any rights to children who are not your biological children. That “goes with the territory” as they say. So when Karen filed a lawsuit to enforce her rights to a child that was not her biological child, she was confronted with the fact that without having married Mark, she was not a legal “step-parent” as defined in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (the Dissolution Act). Therefore, she had no rights as a step-parent for visitation and other parental functions with a non-biological child.

If they had been married, the Dissolution Act would have provided that Karen was a “step-parent,” and that status would have given her visitation and other parental rights with Mark’s child. On Sept. 24, the Illinois Supreme Court unanimously ruled that by virtue of the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act, which was originally enacted to enable same-sex couples to have the same legal rights as married couples, a person in any civil union partnership with another person has the same rights to nonbiological children as married people do. This ruling obviously applies to same-sex relationships as well as to heterosexual relationships.

Candidate (Continued from A1) “I want to serve as your judge first and foremost because I enjoy serving the people of Greene County as well as people across the state,” Schmidt said. “In my role as judge, I will ensure that there is fairness, honesty and competency on the bench, and if elected, I would strive to see that happen.” Goetten, 48, is a Carrollton native and currently resides just outside of Eldred where he has lived for the last 16 years. He is a military veteran, former business owner, former teacher and coach and has a total of 18 years of experience in the courtroom. He is currently with the State Appellate Prosecutor’s Office. He was formerly the Greene County State’s Attorney for eight years and has also been the acting state’s attorney in Pike, Schuyler and Edwards County. In his capacity as a JAG officer with the military, he also runs a military legal office. “I’m looking forward to coming back to Greene County and serving the people of Greene County full-time as their judge if I am lucky enough to win this election,” Goetten said. “I think what I bring to this election is my years of experience with my military background where I do a lot of civil law that maybe my opponent has not had a lot of experience with. I am looking forward to capping off my career here where it first started.” During the forum, Noll questioned them on the role judges play in the courtroom “The judge’s role in the courtroom is really to make the trains run on time,” Goetten said. “There is really a very busy criminal docket here for one state’s attorney – I know because I lived it for eight years. We did an audit of all 101 counties outside of Cook County to look at the caseload and Greene County is among the three busiest counties in the state.” Goetten stressed efficiency in the courtroom, arguing it is vital to keeping the trains running on time relating to the criminal side of the house. “Eighty percent of cases coming through here come through the State’s Attorney’s office,” he said. “Keeping that train running on time and keeping it efficient – that is the primary driver for the judge but also as it relates to the civil side to make that happen there is going to have to be a bridge I have to cross because I have spent most of my career on the criminal side.” Schmidt echoed Goetten, partly, on the importance of moving cases along. “Case management is extremely important for justice in general,” Schmidt said. “Prolonging cases unduly burdens both parties involved so case management is vital.” He said it is also important to be fair to both sides. “I believe it is also to call balls and strikes,” Schmidt said. “There will be lots of objections called by both parties in a lawsuit or criminal case and knowing what procedures or rules of evidence is and calling those balls and strikes and also trying to be as fair and accurate to both sides as possible – I think that is important as well. Don’t get drug into the trench.” Later in the forum, the two went into what sets them apart from one another. Schmidt spoke to his background and the many roles he has had to take on in his life. “I grew up on a farm, and I have had multiple jobs,” Schmidt said. “I think diversity in those jobs sets me apart. Being able to acknowledge

you are co-habiting, right? ––––––––––––––––––– Q Bill Hoagland has practiced law in Alton for more than 50 years, but he has spent more than 70 years hunting, fishing and generally being in the great outdoors. His wife, Annie, shares his love of the outdoor life. Much of their spare time is spent on their farm in Calhoun County. Bill can be reached at billhoagland70@gmail.com.

So here’s my question: at what point in time does your “live-in” friend acquire parental rights to your child? In the factual situation discussed above, Karen had been living with Matt for three years, so we know three years can be enough, but what about someone living with you two months, six months or even a year or two? It is all the more reason to be a bit selective about the person with whom

Drop box those jobs, those areas of the law, in addition to my criminal background, gives me a different perspective on where individuals are coming from. That is one thing that sets me apart from my opponent.” Goetten spoke to his own experience as a state’s attorney in comparison to Schmidt. “I was eight years as your Greene County State’s Attorney where the buck stopped with me,” he said. “I have also been an acting state’s attorney in Pike, Schuyler and Edwards County. I’ve also done a lot of law with the military from estate planning to complex legal issues with federal agencies.” Beyond the professional notches on his belt, Goetten argued his life experience distinguished him. “Zach is a young man and a young attorney, and he has done some very good things, but you can’t diminish the importance of life experiences,” Goetten said. “I am a married man, and I have raised my family here in Greene County. Zach is unmarried, he has no family, he owns no property – I can’t imagine going before a judge with a divorce case or a family case or even a property rights case who has no experience with his own children or his own wife or experience with his own property rights. “All of those life experiences are important in selecting your next judge. Legal experience is important – yes. But so is life experience, and I don’t think Zach has lived long enough to get the life experiences necessary for the role of judge.” At this point, Schmidt asked for a rebuttal, but was told by Noll, that his time for a rebuttal would come at the end with the closing statements. The two were also asked about what in their legal career prepared them for the bench. Goetten pointed to the number of judges he has appeared before in his career across a number of counties. “The trial hearings I have been a part of in front of those judges gives me a breadth of experience to draw from each and every one and to take and apply to my own philosophy, should I get elected to the bench,” Goetten said. He noted also that his training in the military gave him “a sense of the breadth of civil matters that has come in front of a judge.” Schmidt touched on his time as a domestic violence prosecutor. “For me, it would have to be working as a domestic violence prosecutor.” Schmidt said. “The victims have sustained abuse over a number of years, and they have gone back to the abuser. They have reported it to the police and have changed their stories multiples times, but ultimately, they get drug down to where they don’t have any resources. They have been cut off from everyone and everything in the outside world, so it is emotionally charged throughout the entire trial. “There are a lot of attacks on the victim on the stand and keeping your emotions and demeanor going through those trials is important. There are times when anger will rise in the courtroom and being able to objectively stand back is vital to a fair and unbiased courtroom adjudication. I think those experiences have prepared me for this.” Noll asked about their experience in civil law or lack thereof. Schmidt pushed back at the question, arguing he did have “quite a bit” of experience in civil law. “I reviewed contract for leasing of farms, done wills, worked at a law firm in Carrollton,” he said. “The best

attorneys know what they don’t know. I looked up the statistics of cases in Greene County, and domestic relations cases make up 5.6 percent of total cases. That was 39 cases, and of those, 26 were orders of protection. So, I would read the statutes, review the case law and make sure I was abreast of the law on point.” Goetten, too, argued he had experience with civil law, noting also that is a small but vital part in the court system. “Family law docket is very important to those who are coming in front of the judge in those matters,” Goetten said. “I have the experience in those matters. I am not as comfortable with a contracting matter as I am with a murder trial – it is just a matter of educating myself on the case and the law and making a ruling on the facts presented by the capable attorneys.” In closing statements, Schmidt went first and took the opportunity to rebut Goetten’s allegations that he was not qualified for the position because he was an unmarried, childless man who didn’t own property and lacked the life experience that he had. “I want to respectfully disagree with Mr. Goetten that because I don’t have a family or children that I can’t adequately preside over those cases,” Schmidt said. “I’ve never been battered or stabbed or have had a DUI, yet I can manage to prosecute those cases.” Schmidt conceded that life experiences are important, but argued “simply not having a family or owning a residence may actually make me relate to those individuals more.” “There are a lot of situations and instances where a person’s personal life doesn’t come into play and shouldn’t as a judge,” Schmidt said. “You should be able to set those aside. I do take insult to that statement.” Schmidt stressed taking on what makes a good judge should be a focus. “I think my experience in trials has given me a perspective of what you need to know to be a good judge,” Schmidt said. “Along the way, you learn what makes a good judge. A good judge is someone who is willing to learn the law. I think part of me not having children or some of those other responsibilities gives me more time to devote to the study of the law, and I respectfully ask for your vote.” Goetten apologized. “I didn’t mean to offend you,” he said. “I don’t believe not having a family would lead you to not handle those cases. Common experiences with some people might be important to some people’s vote when they look at life experience. I do take some exception comparing your trial experience to mine.” “After 18 years doing this, 17 years as a prosecutor and trial attorney, I think it is safe to say I have been in more trial situations than Zach. But I do want to get back to the life experiences.” Goetten continued, questioning the extent of Schmidt’s experience. “Zach points out that he has been an attorney for six years,” Goetten said. “For me as a voter, I question if that is enough time and experience for the person to be ruling on the issues you have. I question even if 18 years is enough. I learn a lot every day now after 18 years. So, we practice the law every day. With respect to work as a lobbyist – that is not practicing law. I’m in the courtroom most of the time.” He continued, “I have loved this courtroom from the moment I set foot in here as your state’s attorney, and I would love to step back in here as your next judge.”

later than Election Day, Nov. 3, to be accepted, and properly USPS postmarked ballots will be accepted through Nov. 17. Banghart assures voters they have many options to vote at the Nov. 3 election. “If they choose to vote by mail, they may return their ballot using the ballot drop box or they can physically drop their vote-by-mail ballot off in the county clerk’s office or be authorized in writing by another voter to drop their ballot off to the county clerk using the provided form,” she said. “Or, they can mail their vote-bymail ballot to the county clerk via USPS. If they choose, they can vote in person at the Early Voting Center in the Courthouse or vote on Election Day at their designated polling place.” Voters are reminded that all polling places will adhere to COVID-19 prevention guidelines, including the wearing of masks at all times. Entrance to the courthouse to vote requires voters to go through a metal detector and voters will have to either leave their keys and cell phone, plus any other metal objects, in their cars or in a provided lock box, while they are in the courthouse. Masks are also required in the courthouse. Voters must adhere to social distancing inside the courthouse as they vote in person. Those with questions concerning the election process may contact the county clerk’s office via dbanghart@greenecountyil.org or by phone at 217-942-5443.

(Continued from A1) With COVID-19 and concerns about the U.S. Postal Service and possible delays in mail service resulting in mailedin ballots not being received, the ballot box was a secure alternative. “With the concerns of the COVID pandemic and the potential for the mail delays, there is a high demand from voters for a free alternative for them to safely return their ballot to us at the courthouse without leaving their vehicle,” Banghart said. “By installing this ballot drop box, we are hoping to supply this demand and also ensure we will receive more vote-bymail ballots before Election Day so they will be included in the election night results.” The drop box was installed by Greene County Highway Department workers on a concrete pad, which meets the Illinois State Board of Elections legal requirements and has 24/7 video surveillance protection. Banghart asks voters with vote-by-mail ballots to make sure their completed ballot is properly secured in the various envelopes provided, and that they have signed and dated their certification envelope. She also suggests if voters wish to vote by mail and haven’t already applied to do so, to take action immediately to ensure adequate turnaround. The deadline to apply for a vote-by-mail ballot is Oct. 28 and ballots must be USPS postmarked or file stamped by the county clerk’s office no

Furniture

(Continued from A1) “Back in January of this year, we lost three of our four main suppliers of our furniture,” Fansler said. “One company that we dealt with and had a really good product retired and sold his company.” Fansler said the first order they received from the new owners was okay, but the second time they put in an order, they received some shocking news. “The next time we went to put in an order, the representative told us that they went to a 75-seat minimum, which is like 12 sofas at a time. I can’t afford to do that – I might buy one sofa at a time,” Fansler said. “The rep said he was losing a lot of his customers because of that. Before, I could order just one if I wanted.” So there went one supplier. Then, she received a letter from another sister company. “This company decided that they were going to go to a $30,000 minimum order per year,” Fansler said. “I’m like – there is no way we can do that. There were two companies in that one – one for stationary and one for recliners, so there went two more suppliers.” Then, in March, COVID-19 hit. Being a non-essential business, they were closed for four months. “By the time we were able to open our doors again, we discovered that the company we used to make custom orders — where it used to take maybe three weeks to custom

order something, it was now taking three to four months to get something,” Fansler said. “People don’t want to wait that long – they want it now.” The Fanslers took it as a sign. “With everything that was going on, we just decided that maybe this was a sign that it was time to close the doors,” she said. “So, we made the tough decision to just go ahead and close the business.” It wasn’t an easy decision. “It’s been a part of our lives for 13 years, and we are going to miss it,” Fansler said. “But, we have something else in mind that we are in the process of working on.” As for the store, Fansler said she had some people interested in purchasing the building, but has no idea what their intentions might be for the building. J and K Furniture started out in the old opera building. Boris Lyman operated a furniture store there for many, many decades and when he retired, the Fanslers opened J and K Furniture. They also rented the current building as a storage space for additional stock. Eventually, they moved out of the old opera house and made this building their main location. The opera house burned down three years ago. J and K Furniture would have celebrated their 13th anniversary on Nov. 3. “We would just like to thank our customers for 13 great years,” Fansler said. “We look forward to serving you again in our next endeavor.”

Carrollton hoping to receive CURES funding

By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press The Local Coronavirus Urgent Remediation Emergency Support Program, otherwise known as the Local CURES Program, is a program administered by the federal government as part of the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to help deal with the COVID-19 crisis. Through this program, money has been given to the state government to be routed through four different state agencies, one of which is the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, which has been given $250 million to give to downstate municipalities based on their population. Carrollton is set to receive $102,000, but the funding can only be used to cover COVID-19 related expenses made from now until Dec. 31 or prior COVID-19 related expenses dating back to March when the pandemic first started. City Comptroller Debbie Dunlap said the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) also has a reimbursement program the city could enroll in, but it is not as good as the one from the state. “I did also enroll us in the FEMA program, however, it only reimburses 75 percent and has a very complex reimbursement structure,” she said. “I recommend the city pursue the CURES grant.” City officials and department leaders have already been putting their heads together to try and come up with ways to make needed city items “COVID-19 related” in some way to make them fall under the guidelines of the grant. Items that are reimbursable without question include personal protection equipment such as masks and gloves, hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies, public safety equipment to eliminate person to person contact, such as plexiglass. “Computers seem to be an item that is highly likely to be reimbursed,” Dunlap said. “I’m thinking about four computers – one for the public works department, sewer department and police patrol so everyone is not

city has not upheld its obligation to pay its portion of the cost of the new diving board at the city pool. At the February meeting, the city agreed to pay $8,000 towards the cost of a new diving board at the city pool. This was prior to COVID-19, which shut down most of the businesses, cutting off much of the city’s revenue, including the revenue from video gaming. In April, the city amended that promise saying they would still honor that promise, but it would be after the city receives its share of the tax money. But the pool board would get their money by the end of the year. Alderman Tim Reif reiterated this to Butler. “We rescinded that original motion because you had enough money in your account to pay for it, and we were losing several thousand a month due to COVID through sales tax and gaming,” Reif said. “You will still get your money. Whether you get it now or in February, it really doesn’t matter.” Butler disagreed. “It does to us,” she said. “Because that money could be in our account drawing interest for us.” Reif countered. “If interest is all you are worried about, then I will personally make up, out of my pocket, the amount of money you would have drawn in interest,” he said. It was announced in the meeting that Carrollton staff will be flushing the fire hydrants the week of Oct. 26 through 31. The Christmas Parade has been scheduled for Dec. 4. The Chamber of Commerce will meet on Oct. 28 to make plans for it. A retirement party was held for Police Chief Terry Gross on Oct. 9, his official last day in the office, though his retirement date is set for Oct. 31. Gross was recognized for 31 years of service with the city. “He leaves some big shoes to fill,” Mayor Montanez said. “Thirty-one years is a long time – it’s a long time to work in one place. I know your heart has been in it the whole time, and I wish you nothing but the best.”

Veterans Park being suggested for Carrollton By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press It’s called Rainey Park, but right now it’s really just a statue sitting on a piece of land between Sixth St. and Highway 67. But, if Carrollton resident Bernie Faul has her way, it will soon be something everyone will notice as they come into town from the north. Faul addressed the Carrollton City Council at their Oct. 8 meeting with an idea she had after seeing something in another community and talking with one of their residents. “I was talking with Steve Hopper, who is a Vietnam veteran, and they have taken their square and turned it into Veterans Park, a memorial to the veterans,” Faul said. “Carrollton used to honor its veterans with plaques on the light poles around the square, but those were taken down when the poles were painted and never put back up, and I think we need to honor our veterans in some way.” After talking with Hopper further, he told her to go see Roodhouse’s Memorial to the veterans, and she did. In Roodhouse, Mayor Tommy Martin suggested she go see New Berlin and see their memorial to its veterans. Their display totally blew Faul away. “I saw that, and I knew this was something I would like to see for our veterans here in Carrollton,” Faul said. “But then, I got to thinking about where we could put it.” Several places came to mind before she settled on Rainey Park, which the city already owns. “I went to Judge Day with my idea, and he thought it was a great idea, and he thought the Eldred American Legion would also be for it,” Faul said. “I, then, went to them, and they said they would be behind the project 100 percent as well.” As far as buy-in from taxpayers, there isn’t one. Not one dime of taxpayer money will be spent on it. “I don’t need any money from the city at all,” Faul said. “All I need is permission to use the land. We will get donations to fund the project, and we will do this by selling memorial bricks and stones and from the families of veterans who want to see this project go forward.” Faul said the total cost of the project could be as much as $100,000, but she is confident that there are enough patriotic people who appreciate the sacrifice of our nation’s veterans, especially our local

veterans, that the funds can be raised. “The gentleman who designed the memorial in New Berlin is coming to the Eldred Legion on Oct. 15 at 6:30 to give a PowerPoint presentation on what they did and how they raised the money to pay for it,” Faul said. “We don’t have to make it as big as theirs or on the same scale. We also want to check into solar street lamps, and the Eldred Legion will replace the flags when

they get torn.” The proposed memorial would be located north of the Rainey statue and parking would be made along Sixth Street. The Rainey statue was constructed in 1937 and, at the time, the city was torn between building the statue in honor of Rainey or constructing a public swimming pool. The statue won out. Faul also said she learned that there is a walkway lead-

ing up to the statue that has long been covered over with grass. “Maybe it’s time we started taking care of the treasures we already have in our community,” Faul said. “We have so many things that are a link to our past that we just overlook on a daily basis, and this statue is one of them. It is time we stop and honor our past, and our veterans who have made our present and our future possible.”

White Hall Calvary Baptist Church news Sunday, Oct. 4, Pastor Carl opened with prayer and announcements. Bro. Brad led the singing. Message: The Seals are Opened and Judgement Begins. Scripture: Revelation 6:1-6, 1 Thessalonians 5:24. We need to let scripture interpret scripture, not man interpret scripture. Each time we begin to open Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word, we need to pray first. Pray that God will illuminate your mind and your spirit. The first of the seals to be opened was the Seal of the White Horse. It repre-

sents peace and surrender. The only one who can fix this world is God. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the answers, but Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word does. The second seal opened was the Seal of the Red Horse. It brings bloodshed. A sword is a tool of bloodshed. Red is a time of war and of taking lives. The third seal is the Black Horse. Black brings poverty and famine. Every knee shall bow unto the Lord. Is this a world you or others want to live in? For those left behind, what are you going to do about others? We all have a job to do. Each and every one of us can be a witness to a lost soul. God can and

Hillview Baptist Church news Birthdays: Danny Ford Announcements: Business Meeting, Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m. Message: Exodus 18: 13-27 During the time of their exodus, the people were used to doing what they were told. When decisions were made, they went to Moses to settle disputes. It must of been very tiring for Moses. As

in our churches today, the leaders of the church get tired too. Jethro tells Moses that the task is too heavy for him alone. He should give some of the load to others. The reason we gather together is to learn what the will of God in our life might be. Do you take the time during the week

to open up your Bible and study what God has to say? That is the way we can hear from God. Moses listened to Jethro and put others in place to help him guide the people. It is our duty to tell others about our Savior. Do you know who Jesus is, and do you tell others what he has done for you?

Walkerville Baptist Church news From the desk of Pastor David Slagle, 473-1892: I remember as a kid growing up in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50s.

When the World Is Too Much â&#x20AC;&#x153;So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.â&#x20AC;? Isaiah 41:10 NIV

orldwide, thousands of people commit suicide every day, which is testimony to the fact that life is just too much for many people to handle. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all had days, or perhaps weeks or even months, where we understand the bitter pessimism and suffering of people who long for death. But when things get that bad, we really must turn things over to God and say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Lord, I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle this by myself.â&#x20AC;? And that is also when we should not just be asking God for help, but also our friends and family, and if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have family or friends that can help, you should try asking a complete stranger, or calling a crisis hotline. Especially in these times of social isolation we can feel very alone in the world and we should not feel bad about reaching out to others, even perfect strangers. You might be surprised how willing

others are to help. The real tragedy when people commit suicide is that there were probably family and friends who were willing to help, if only they knew how badly the person was feeling. And even when there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close friends or family to help, there are crisis hotlines available at the touch of a button (or the dialing of a phone, as it were). The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 800273-8255 (800-273-TALK). Finally, God is always there to help, if only we can be humble enough to get down on our knees and ask for it. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Christopher Simon

Wednesday, October 14, 2020

GREENE PRAIRIE PRESS

Carrollton, Illinois

Contested county races on the Nov. 3 ballot Greene Circuit Judge Candidates were sent a questionnaire with a limit to the amount of words they could use for each question.

Zachary A. Schmidt Party: Republican

How does political affiliation affect the position of judge? Judges are in a unique position where politics should not play a role in their decision making. While every individual has predispositions and inherent biases, as a Judge, I will work to set my biases aside to ensure fair rulings. Why are you running for the position? I truly believe citizens and our legal system deserve independent, fair, and competent application of the laws provided for by the Constitution and the Legislature. It is this belief, along with my passion for the law, which drove me to pursue this opportunity to serve the people of Greene County. What do you feel you bring to the position that your opponent may not? I have a very diverse background being raised on a farm, going away to college, and in my legal experience. My unique background in agriculture, the legislative process, civil, and criminal law allows me to understand laws and the impacts they have on communities like those in Greene County.

In what ways do you propose to maintain the integrity of the position of judge? Integrity is a choice we must continually remind ourselves to keep making. As Judge, I plan to maintain integrity of the position the same way I work to maintain my own integrity, by considering what is right and moral. What do you perceive as the greatest obstacles to justice, if any? Time. Letting cases linger open and unresolved for extended periods of time provides an opportunity for repeat offenses, allows evidence to grow stale, and prevents closure for victims, families, and defendants alike. As judge, I will prioritize proper case management to ensure time is not an obstacle for justice. What do you think about the growing prison population? What response should society have to prison overcrowding? This problem starts with the legislature. The General Assembly has enacted criminal laws that carry prison sentences. It also provides guidance, through aggravating and mitigating factors, that require sentencing to consider prison time. Judges make the final call on when prison sentences are appropriate, but legislators set the parameters. What is your vision for the future of our judicial system: What changes would you advocate and why? The judicial system is undergoing many changes, including updates to electronic filing and bond/bail procedures and increasing court access for indigent individuals. I would continue these efforts to help the system adapt to the 21st Century, while ensuring the pillars of fair and unbiased interpretation of the law remain.

Matt Goetten Party: Democrat How does political affiliation affect the position of judge? Political affiliation should have zero impact on decisions made by a circuit judge just as it has had zero impact on my decisions as a prosecutor over the past 17 years. Partisanship has no place in our judicial system. Why are you running for the position? Over the past 18 years of practicing law I have accumulated a wealth of legal knowledge through my civilian and military employment. Having worked my way to prosecute the most serious cases in this state, I’m ready for a new challenge and to bring that experience to my home circuit. What do you feel you bring to the position that your opponent may not? In a word—experience… both legal and life. I’ve prosecuted the state’s most serious cases, run 4 legal offices and a small business, spent 21 years in the military and went to war, and raised my family here in Greene County where I get to watch my grandchildren being raised. In what ways do you

COVID-19 cant stop Oktoberfest fun in White Hall

propose to maintain the integrity of the position of judge? The way to preserve the integrity of the judiciary is to elect or appoint judges known to have demonstrated integrity as lawyers. I would direct your readers to the Illinois State Bar Association poll. What do you perceive as the greatest obstacles to justice, if any? Justice can be difficult for those who lack the resources to retain adequate counsel. Veterans are particularly at risk. As judge, I would work to enhance our veterans’ court. Ultimately, in retirement, I plan to provide free or low-cost representation to indigent veterans in need of legal services. What do you think about the growing prison population? What response should society have to prison overcrowding? Prison populations in Illinois have declined about 20% in the last decade. In 2015, a bipartisan commission made recommendations to safely reduce overcrowding. Those recommendations helped reduce an already declining population. However, as a prosecutor, my decision to seek prison, or not, is based on the severity of the crime. What is your vision for the future of our judicial system: What changes would you advocate and why? I envision working with the local bar and our Circuit Clerk to adopt many of the lessons I’ve learned from my extensive experience throughout the state. As your former State’s Attorney, I know we can keep improving our judicial system through a collaborative effort with all of the stakeholders.

Salsa Company brings bit of zesty vibe to Greene County By CARMEN ENSINGER Greene Prairie Press Greene County Salsa Company had its roots planted in Greene County in 2015 when Jesse and Jose Meza moved back to Carrollton from Austin, Texas. Jesse (Enochs) grew up in Edwardsville, but her family has deep roots in Carrollton and Greene County, owning a farm. The story of how the salsa company came to be begins way back in 2004, when Jesse met her husband, Jose. “I went to college at MacMurray, and when I graduated, I was offered a position in Springfield as a teacher where I taught Spanish,” Meza said. “Jose happened to be manager of my favorite restaurant, and so I would go eat there often. I thought I could practice my Spanish on him, and I could also help him with his English at the same time. We have been together ever since.” The couple moved to Austin, Texas in 2005, and then moved back to Greene County in 2015 where Meza accepted a teaching position in St. Louis. “The one thing that we noticed was that you really couldn’t find any good homemade salsa around here,” she said. “We couldn’t find any at all that we liked to eat, so Jose started making his own, and we started sharing it with our friends and family, and they started telling us it was the best they had ever had, and how we should start selling it, and the rest is history. “Greene County Salsa Company was born.” As to how they came up with the name, that was easy. “The reason we decided to name it Greene County Salsa Company is because my family has lived in Greene County for more than 100 years,” Meza

said. “It has always just been a place that I could always go back to, even after moving away. I just feel like I still have roots to our family and roots to our farm here.” The Mezas have since moved to the Alton area, merely for economic reasons. “I was working in St Louis, and the drive every day from Carrollton was just getting to be too much for me,” she said. “However, when COVID hit, I decided maybe teaching wasn’t for me, so I have since left teaching and taken a job with the Madison County Health Department.” Regardless of where they live, they have made a definite mark in Greene County with their salsa, as was evidenced by their sales this summer at the Carrollton Farmer’s Market where they had a booth. “Sales in Greene County this summer has been really good, and we have built up a really strong base over the last five years,” Meza said. “I really thought COVID would slow our sales down, but it hasn’t. I really think people have started wanting to support local during this time. I really feel like we have gotten strong community support during this time.” Keeping with the local theme, Meza said they also try to support local merchants as well. What they don’t grow themselves, they try to get from local vendors or farms. “We grow some of our own peppers, and then we get quite a few things through the farmer’s markets from other vendors and then the rest of it we put in an order in through Steckel’s Produce in Jerseyville,” Meza said. “So, basically, most of the items we use is locally grown. There are also a couple farms in Grafton, Hardin and Calhoun that

Jose and Jesse Meza are at their tent this summer at the Carrollton Farmer’s Market. With farmer’s markets winding up, salsa lovers will still be able to get their delicious salsa by ordering it online. The Mezas will be making deliveries to the Greene County area every two weeks.

we use. We like to do what we can for the local communities, and as business owners, we have to stick together and help each other out.” In addition to the Carrollton Farmer ’s Market, they also sold their salsa at the farmers markets in Jerseyville and Alton and will soon be offering it in specialty shops. “We recently started renting a kitchen at the Jacoby Arts in Alton,” Meza said. “We hope to start selling salsa in the specialty shops down there soon, and we have to have a commercial kitchen to be able to do that.” With winter coming and the farmer’s markets

closing down, many are wondering where they are going to get their salsa fix now. They went to social media with options for deliveries. “We did that in the spring before the markets opened, and it worked out really well,” Meza said. “I think there are enough people who want the salsa all year long – not just in the summer.” Meza said there have been people who have reached out to her about selling their product in their venues. “Right now, what we are going to do is to continue doing the online orders with delivery,” she said.

Bob Price Scholarship fundraiser raises thousands Twenty-four golf teams gathered at Timber Lakes Golf Course on Sept. 25 and helped to raise $19,125 for the Bob Price Memorial Scholarship Fund. Some golfers were there to compete, and some were there just for the fun, comraderie and a good cause, along with being there to remember Price. Price’s family was present for the event, including his sister, Carol Harrison from North Carolina, his brothers, Roger Price of Hillsboro and Jerry and Keri Price from Washington and his nieces, Crissi Harrison and Audra Harrison of North Carolina. Cash payouts went to the first three places and 13th. First place with a score of 55 went to Team Mitch Scheller, Dave Scheller, Andy Mayer and Chuck Satterlee. Second place with a score of 57 went to Team Bill Schuette, Mary Kirk, David Kellebrew and Lyndsay Bearden. Third place with a score of 59 went to Team Jack Crissey, Casey Grossner, Dave Campbell and Jay Winkleman. Thirteenth place with a score of 62 was awarded to Team Tim Denny, Ryan Billings, Ron Bandy and Dennis Kellebrew. Longest Drive winner for men was Kyle Loucks, and Longest Drive winner

for the ladies was Lyndsey Bearden. Closest to the Pin winner for men was Dave Wargo, and Closest to the Pin winner for women was Ann Clough. Senior Longest drive winner was Larry Trent. Dave Grigsby of Hillsboro was the 50/50 ($370) winner. The winner of the cash/gun raffle was Brad LeMarr of Brighton. He chose the gun. According to a news release, $8,000 in scholarships were awarded last year in Hillsboro, North Greene, Carlinville, Southwestern and Staunton, with a total of 38 awarded in the past seven years. The scholarships are available to high school senior students in Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin and Montgomery counties. For information about the scholarship or playing in next year’s tournament, Sept. 24, 2021 contact Ginger Barnes at 217-8259175. Donations can be made anytime to the Bob Price Memorial Scholarship fund at First National Bank of Raymond. The community support has continued to be amazing, and they helped make the tournament a successful event including golfers, all who helped sell and purchase raffle tickets and donated money as well as the sponsors.

This project enabled students to learn the parts of a cell and to find new and challenging ways to make their own cell unique from their classmates. Some students used clay, candy, Play-Doh, construction paper, jello, food items, slime, cookies, cake or whatever other miscellaneous items they could

find around their homes to bring to school in order to create their cell. The cells had to be created in class, and the students had three class periods to complete their project. After making the cell, the students individually presented their projects and explained the various parts of a plant or animal cell from memory. After all students had presented their cell, they put their replicas in the gym so the other students in the school could walk through to see their projects.

Tiger Tales The parent/teacher Conferences will be held next week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Oct. 21-22 from 3:30-7 p.m. We would like to see as many parents as possible, but we want to comply with Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Illinois School Board of Education (ISBE) guidelines for safety. We will hold as many conferences remotely as possible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; either over the phone or through a video call. Please contact your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher or the school office to sched-

ule a conference if you have not already done so. In the past, conferences at GHS have largely been on a walk-in basis, but this year, we would like to pre-schedule. Limited in person conferences can be accommodated, but once again, please schedule ahead of time. The Greene High School number is 217-368-2219, and the Greene Elementary School number is 217-368-2551. Have a great week. Go get â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em, Tigers!

Good food and fast If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to fight the crowd at Lions Park and were hungry, you just had to stop at Kroger, where there was a booth set up selling some of the best barbeque east of the Rockies with the proceeds going towards the White Hall Youth Fund. Vendors are, from left to right: Cindy Driver, Brenda Monroe and Jessica Monroe.

Mosquito pool positive for West Nile identified in Greene The Greene County Health Department (GCHD) conducts testing for West Nile Virus (WNV) annually. On Tuesday, Oct. 6, a positive mosquito pool was identified within Greene County. West Nile Virus is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird. Common West Nile Virus symptoms include fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches. Symptoms may last from a few days to several weeks. However, four out of five people infected with WNV will not show any symptoms. In rare cases, severe illness including meningitis or encephalitis, or even death, can occur. People older than 50 are at higher risk for severe illness from WNV. The best way to prevent the chance of getting infected with WNV or any other mosquitoborne disease is to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home and to take personal precautions to avoid mosquito bites. Precautions involve practicing the three â&#x20AC;&#x153;Râ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;?: Q Reduce exposure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, especially between dusk and dawn. Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or other openings. Try to keep doors and windows shut, especially at night. Eliminate all sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, including flower pots, wading pools, outdoor toys, old tires and any other receptacles. Change bird baths weekly. Q Repel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When outdoors, wear shoes and socks, long

pants and a long-sleeved shirt and apply insect repellent that contains DEET, Picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535, according to label instructions. Consult a physician before using repellents on infants. Q Report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Relay any nuisances which contribute to the breeding of mosquitoes such as stagnant water in ditches, abandoned pools, un-rimmed tires and similar locations that may produce mosquitoes. The Greene County Health Department is still accepting dead birds (through Oct. 15) which have been dead 48 hours or less and have died from natural causes such as: the crow, blue jay, grackle, starling, sparrow, finch, robin, cardinal, flycatchers, swallows, catbird, mockingbird, warbler, wren, and small to medium owls and hawks. Upon detecting a bird carcass contact the health department for collection at the number listed below. Decomposed birds are not acceptable for submission. These are birds that can be recognized as having a strong odor present, eyes deflated or dried, maggot infestation or bloated from decomposition gases. which should be double bagged and properly disposed of. Call the Greene County Health Department for additional information regarding West Nile Virus at 217-9426961 or access the Health Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at http:// greenecountyhealth.com or the Illinois Department of Public Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s websites at: http:// www.dph.illinois.gov/topicsservices/diseases-and-conditions/west-nile-virus or http:// www.dph.illinois.gov/.

Foster care organization to launch in Jersey Potential growth into Greene anticipated

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Greene Prairie Press A new foster care organization will be coming to Jersey County in the next several weeks that will partner with local churches in order to meet its goals. "The Restore Network is a non-profit organization that engages the church to recruit and adopt foster families while advocating for a better foster care system,â&#x20AC;? Katie Myette, founder and executive director of the Restore Network, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We engage partner churches through awareness, church presentations and social media campaigns as we try to help people understand the need for people to engage in foster care.â&#x20AC;? Myette started the Restore Network in 2009 through her home church in Alton after embracing a calling to care for vulnerable children and their families. Myetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history with vulnerable children and their families finds its origins in her high school years, continuing into college. She spent a summer in Ukraine working with children in orphanages, which was a very illuminating period in her life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I became aware of the darkness and despair that was there for kids who were in vulnerable places,â&#x20AC;? Myette explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;God changed my heart, then I came home and started teaching in a low-income school district.â&#x20AC;? After Myette began her teaching career at home, she saw vulnerable kids in her own backyard and was subsequently called to dedicate her life to foster care, as was her husband. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had no idea what that would look like, but over time we developed good relationships with DCFS and began recruiting and supporting foster families,â&#x20AC;? Myette said. Jersey County is the sixth county in the state that the Restore Network has launched in. Other counties include Bond, Madison, St. Clair, Monroe and Williamson counties, but soon other counties, such as Macoupin, will be added to that growing number. Though outside of Williamson County, this program may seem regionally based, Myette hopes that the Restore Network will find at least one partner church in every Illinois county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to have a committed home ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CARROLLTON FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT TREASURER State of Illinois County of Greene ss.

church before moving into a home county, so we wait for the right opportunity to present itself,â&#x20AC;? Myette said. Myette will tell you that not everyone, specifically in the church, feels called to foster, but asserts that every member of a congregation can be involved in some capacity. The Restore Network accomplishes its goal of securing safe homes for kids by recruiting more than enough families who are willing to foster, then aids in equipping those families with training. According to the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next, we work with agencies to match children with Restore families most likely to help them thrive. Not just the nearest empty beds.â&#x20AC;? The organization goes further to offer continued assistance to those foster families through spiritual and tangible support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not everyone is called to foster or adopt, but everyone can either volunteer or donate, and when everything comes together to make a difference, it really can change the system,â&#x20AC;? Myette said. Currently, there are two churches in Jersey County that have agreed to partner with the Restore Network: the First Assembly of God and the Delhi Baptist Church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have our launch party, which is basically a county-based fundraiser, on Oct. 29. It will be virtual, so people will be able to participate online,â&#x20AC;? Myette noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That will be the official county-wide launch date. Then, we will start launching at our churches in November. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll launch at Assembly of God on Nov. 8, Delhi Baptist on Nov. 15 and then, though this is outside of the county but nearby, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be launching at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Piasa, though they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a launch date yet." So far, the Restore Network has seen 400 kids placed in Restore Network homes in 2020 and the progress the organization makes continues to advance by leaps and bounds. As the organization continues its preparations for its launch in Jersey County, it continues to work in the hope of opening up opportunities in more counties. As of yet, the Restore Network has yet to find a home church in Calhoun, Greene, Pike or Scott counties, but hopes to as they continue in their work.

Horoscopes ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20 This week you may feel more rooted in the past than the present, Aries. Feeling nostalgic for old times, including the people and places of your past, is healthy.

VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22 Spirituality and religion may be on your mind, Virgo. You may want to figure out how to embrace your values and beliefs, as they can improve your life.

AQUARIUS Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, a desire to learn new things may be very strong for you right now. It is never too late to return to school and finish a degree or to begin pursuit of a new one.

TAURUS Apr 21/May 21 People move in and out of your social circle. It’s a natural transition that everyone experiences. Embrace opportunities to meet new and interesting people.

LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23 Waking up feeling optimistic and energized is a great thing, Libra. On top of it you may be surprised to find that someone has a crush on you. Go out if you’re single.

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you take a trip down memory lane at some point, don’t be surprised if family members dominate your thoughts. Think about rekindling a lost relationship.

SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, if restlessness sneaks up on you, look for new opportunities to add a bit of excitement. It could be taking an online course in a subject that interests you or a vacation.

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS

OCTOBER 13 Kate Walsh, Actress (53)

CAPRICORN Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may be feeling that someone close to you is ill or not himself or herself. These intuitions will not cease until you check out the situation for yourself.

Coloring

PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, don’t take love too personally this week, especially if your romantic partner has been playing it cool. Things will come around.
